Distractions

for Constances

 

Distractions

 

Deep into my daily life

their chatter seem to grip me

forced to settle for less

as I strive to be great

no one seem to understand me

nor the epitome of my work.

 

Classified are my values

that are sheltered by my intelligence

making me vulnerable to my surrounding

and sensitive are all my needs

which shatters my precious heart

as I disclose my true feelings.

 

I’ve seemed to have lost my way

by the convenience of distraction

walloping in the hearsay...

But regardless of what they think

my time is so valuable

for it is my life on this fragile line

struggling with one goal in mind

to do my very best

until the end of my time.

Wow, ralphy, nicely done and touching, there is much to consider reading this,
what I liked most is the endearing passion and strength behind the emotion,
what I liked least, the form and the over use of the word "my" imo..
but in no way did it detract from the overall quality, beautifully written.
Great Job.

This poem states the struggles of your understandings, frustrations for
not getting them. I see your strength to endure, and not let things
get in your way. This is a great read:) AD

Beautifully done!

This flows really smoothly, it's full of emotion and intent, gentle and so well put together. Somehow that font makes your poem seem like a letter to a friend.

no one seem to understand me / nor the epitome of my work. I think somehow people do understand when you write like this.

Thank you for sharing

Each line leads so naturally into the next here.

Deep thought in every line. Purely enjoyable to read and different from most of the work I have read of yours. I like this!

[April Child]

The chatter, yes, to be able to block it out. I never thought to write about it although writing does for me seem to quiet it. Nice thoughtful piece.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

Very deep, and almost philosophical. I very much liked this piece. Spoken with true character. thanks for sharing!!
